Anya: (walks in on Andrew in the bathroom) What are you doing in here?
Andrew: Entertaining and educating.
Anya: Why can't you just masturbate like the rest of us?

Andrew: (Speaking to camera for documentary he is making with visuals on a dry eraser board)There's a hellmouth, hell-mouth, underneath the high school. See, weird things happen on the hellmouth (zoom out) that attracts all sorts of, uh, bad people and demons and vampires. And now there's this thing in the basement of the high school called the-the seal of Danzal, Danzalthar, and it's sort of a door to the hellmouth. (stands in front of the board, nervously) Uh, due to some circumstances it got opened up... a little bit... recently...uh, and this, uh, nasty, nasty vampire thing came out of it. It was, uh, it was just awful, awful. This whole thing— (gestures in a circle with the marker) whole thing—is being orchestrated by something called The-First. It's made up of all the evil in the whole world. Oh, there's also these guys. (points to the harbingers) They work for the First. We don't know much about them except that they're very ugly and they're very mobile for blind people. Is that all clear?
